Cellular operators offer services and tariff packages that allow you to get special prices for international calls. So, in certain directions you can call cheaper than to a neighboring city. However, not everything here depends on Russian operators, who cannot always set a truly favorable tariff for international calls due to the peculiarities of tariffs in another country.

Today we will tell you how to call Belarus from Russia at the best price, or even for free, as well as about the rules for dialing the format of international mobile and landline phone numbers in Belarus.

How to dial a number to Belarus

The numbering system in Belarus is similar to the Russian one and is no different, if you do not take into account the codes of the country, cities, and mobile operators. The only difference is that subscriber mobile numbers consist of eight digits, including the operator code. However, there are no differences in the total number of digits of any number, which is due to the fact that the international country code consists of three digits, but in Russia it is only one digit - seven.

In order to dial a phone number in Belarus at any time and get through the first time, it is important to write it down correctly in your address book in international format. However, it is worth considering how you are going to call Belarus - from a landline or mobile phone, and whether you will use a call to a Belarusian number only from Russia, or from another country.

If you save a Belarusian phone number in your mobile phone, we recommend writing it down in international format, which will allow you to call it from any mobile operator. To do this, dial plus, country code 375, city or operator code, and the subscriber number itself.

If you make calls to Belarus from a landline phone, then you should save the number in the international format a little differently. From Russian city networks, access to an international line occurs using eight and ten. Only after this you need to dial the country code, city code (operator), and the number itself.

Mobile operator tariffs

Mobile operators offer various tariffs and options that allow you to get significant discounts on calls abroad, but you won’t be able to call from a mobile phone from Russia to Belarus at a really low price. Thus, the cheapest calls to Belarus are offered by MTS and MegaFon - 20 rubles per minute, and the cost of a minute for other operators starts from 25 rubles.

However, if you urgently need to call family or friends, then this is the best option. To receive a reduced cost, you must connect either a special tariff or an additional option.

To pay for calls from Russia to Belarus at twenty rubles per minute, you need to activate the “Beneficial International Calls” service on MTS. It is not free, and each month of its use will cost fifty rubles.

At MegaFon, the best price in this area is offered on package versions of “Warm Welcome” with a monthly cost in the Kursk region from 350 rubles. Is it true? for this money, the subscriber receives a full-fledged package tariff with gigabytes, minutes, and unlimited messengers, which will also help save on calls to a neighboring country.

Other operator offers allow you to call for 25 rubles per minute. Without additional payments, you can use the “Guest” tariffs from MTS, “Warm Welcome” from MegaFon.

Thirty rubles costs a minute on “Classic” from Tele2, and on Beeline this price is available on all new “EVERYTHING” package tariffs when using the free “Welcome” option.

There are also options for receiving a discount of five rubles per minute from Tele2 with the “Simple Geography” service. The option is available on any new tariff package, and its daily cost is two rubles.

How to call for free

You can also enter your Belarus number in international format and avoid paying for calls. However, this will require an Internet connection and the use of a messenger. You can use anyone, given that most tariffs of Russian operators offer them with unlimited traffic.

When choosing a messenger, it is worth considering that it should be used not only by you, but also by the user you are calling in Belarus. Checking its use is quite simple. Save the subscriber’s number in international format on your smartphone, and by going to contacts in the messenger, see if it is used by the subscriber.

Additionally, it is worth noting that instant messengers allow you not only to talk with subscribers in Belarus, but also to communicate via video, or exchange text messages, send photos and videos. This will also be available at no additional cost.

To call the Republic of Belarus to a landline number from your landline, follow these steps:

1. Dial “8” - long distance code.
2. Wait for a long beep.
3. Next, dial “10” to access the international line.

We all periodically have to use international telephone services to communicate with colleagues, friends, and family. But not all of us know how to call abroad. It often happens that not knowing the correct procedure for dialing a phone number forces you to waste extra time and nerves searching for the necessary information.

In the event that you need to find out from Russia, read these detailed instructions, or better yet, save it. There are several simple general rules for calls to Belarus.

So, how to call Belarus? Consider the option of calling from a landline phone. To access long-distance communication, dialing a telephone number must begin with the number 8. Then dial 10 to access international communication. Next, 357 is the international code of the Republic of Belarus. Thus, we get the combination 8-10-375.

After these numbers, dial the city code or mobile operator code, if you are calling to a mobile phone. A table with city codes can be easily found using the help desk. For example, when calling to the city of Minsk you need to dial 17, and to the city of Naroch - 1749. And after dialing all the listed groups of numbers, we dial the phone number. Telephone numbers of mobile operators and large cities consist of 7 digits, and numbers of small settlements consist of 5-6 digits. Now you know how to call Belarus from Russia.

Now, having understood the features of dialing numbers, let's talk about how to call Belarus from Russia economically.

Of course, the easiest way to communicate in this case is Skype, but it is not always available to everyone. In the event that you use for calls, check with your telecommunications company for the availability of the "IP-telephony" service and make sure that your telephone set has the ability to switch to. As a rule, the cost of such calls is at least one and a half times cheaper than a standard connection with access via "8". If the IP telephony service is not available, you still shouldn’t despair. The cost of calls can be significantly reduced if they are made after 23:00 or on weekends.

If you use a mobile phone for long-distance calls, check out the tariffs of leading cellular operators: Megafon, Beeline, MTS - and compare their costs and conditions. Each operator has a range of tariffs with favorable conditions for calls to other countries. However, some pricing principles may seem unnecessarily confusing.
